So, I guess we have new owners. After the win, the first article I read wrote off Portsmouth and all their hopes of staying in the Premiership. I was so upset that I didn't read football news for two or three days. So, I was a little surprised to see that "Dr.Al-Fahim" was out and the Saudi Arabian oil-rich brothers Al-Faraj have completed the second takeover in as many months.

It's been a week since the bottom fell out of Sulaiman al-Fahim's bid to buy Portsmouth. Or so it seemed. After seven days of rampant speculation linking a number of suitors to Pompey including Peter Storrie, Big Foot and myself, Mr. Fahim is apparently back on the right track.
Or so it seems. According to the guys at espnsoccernet.com, Sulaiman al-Fahim has told everyone that it's a done deal.
My reaction? Whatever. Who cares? Big deal.
